As pediatric dentists, we understand that a visit to the dentist can be a source of anxiety for both children and their parents. Many families worry about invasive treatments, drilling, and discomfort during dental procedures. Fortunately, advances in minimally invasive pediatric dentistry allow us to take a gentler approach while ensuring optimal oral health for children.
At Ehrenman & Khan Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to conservative dental treatment that preserves as much of your child’s natural tooth structure as possible. Our methods focus on early intervention, prevention, and modern dental materials to provide gentle dental treatment options with minimal discomfort.
If your child experiences teething pain, delayed tooth eruption, difficulty with brushing, or cavities, rest assured that modern, child-friendly dental care can address these concerns in a minimally invasive way.
Minimally invasive pediatric dentistry is a modern approach to dental care that prioritizes preserving healthy tooth structure, avoiding unnecessary drilling, and reducing the need for anesthesia.
Unlike traditional dentistry, which often involves removing large portions of a tooth to treat decay, minimal intervention dentistry focuses on:
By employing preservation techniques children benefit from, we ensure they have healthy, strong teeth with minimal disruption to their natural development.
Our practice specializes in advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to protect and restore your child’s teeth with as little intervention as possible. Here are some of the most effective preservation techniques for children that we use:
SDF is a painless, non-invasive liquid applied to cavities to halt decay in its tracks. It strengthens enamel and eliminates the need for fillings in many cases. This is an excellent option for children who may not be ready for traditional dental work.
ICON is a revolutionary, drill-free solution for early cavities and white spots on teeth. It seals and stabilizes weakened enamel without removing any healthy tooth structure, making it a conservative dental treatment option.
For baby teeth with significant decay, traditional crowns often require drilling and numbing injections. With the Hall Technique, we place a preformed crown over the tooth without drilling, allowing it to naturally arrest decay and preserve function.
Instead of using a traditional drill, we use air abrasion technology—a painless, drill-free way to remove small cavities using a stream of tiny particles. This method helps keep kids comfortable and cavity-free.
Thanks to advances in modern dental materials, we can repair teeth using biocompatible, tooth-friendly substances that mimic natural enamel and dentin. Some of the best materials we use include:
By using state-of-the-art materials, we ensure that minimally invasive pediatric dentistry is both effective and aesthetically pleasing for your child’s smile.
